Let's Look to the East - End, That is - for Lessons on Economic Recovery

25 February 2013

By Stephen Caddick, Vice-Provost (Enterprise) at UCLSo the latest GDP figures
show what we had all feared: that the Government's prescription to jolt
the economy back to full health has failed and we are heading towards
an unprecedented triple dip recession.

To my mind this just confirms that the fair economic winds of the 21st
century, it seems, are blowing only one way: east. On a global scale, of
course, we are seeing a gradual tilt towards the booming economies of
China and India, yet there are lessons to be learnt in our own backyard,
too - we only have to look at the dynamism and creativity of Tech City, in the East End of London, to see the future.
